Go Fuck Yourself Weekly: Daryush Valizadeh aka RooshV

“How many noes does it take to enter a vagina?”

“Make rape legal if done on private property.”

This is one of those instances when I’m honestly not sure whether this RooshV person is actually serious or whether his extremely misogynist – what he terms “neomasculist” – views are simply trolling everyone, with feminists as the particular target. The statements above and the following statement seem a little too calculated to be genuine:

“Under my proposal, a girl will protect her body in the same manner that she protects her purse and smartphone…If rape becomes legal, she will never be unchaperoned with a man she doesn’t want to sleep with.”

Apparently, he thinks that a woman’s body and her genitals in particular are the same thing as her purse and her smartphone. You know, just some stuff that’s up for grabs if it’s not locked up. I suppose if he saw someone’s phone sitting on their desk at work, that he would help himself to it. Why wouldn’t he? Obviously, they wanted him to have it. And likewise, any man who finds himself alone with a woman should feel free to coerce her into sex, or if that doesn’t work, simply force himself on her. Technically, it wouldn’t be forcing her at all since she gave him her tacit consent as soon as she stepped across his threshold.

And, hey, if rape on private property was legal then there would be a lot less rape, right? It’s a win-win situation. Only a rape committed by a stranger in a back alley is a real rape anyway. If a friend or a colleague or classmate gets a woman alone then he’s entitled to her body.

The message to women is clear: if you don’t feel like having sex with a man then don’t be alone with him, ever. And as for the men, if you’re in a committed relationship and you really don’t want to cheat on your significant other, then for God’s sake don’t allow yourself to be alone with any woman. You know you’re incapable of controlling yourself.

As the mother of three girls, this degree of male privilege has me wanting to exercise my 2nd amendment privilege. The audacity that this man has of claiming ownership of a female body simply because it is in close proximity and she appeals to him – at the moment – is ludicrous as well as dangerous. He actually acknowledges that he is being criminally negligent: “In one infamous passage in his book Bang Iceland, he describes how he “banged” one extremely drunk Icelandic woman, acknowledging that: “In America, having sex with her would have been rape, since she legally couldn’t give her consent … but I can’t say I cared or even hesitated. I won’t rationalise my actions, but having sex is what I do. If a girl is willing to walk home with me, she’s going to get the dick no matter how much she has drunk. When it comes to sex, one ounce of hesitation or a feeling of morality will get me nothing.” ARGHHHH.

Oh. My. God. Disgusting does not even begin to describe it. Though, apparently he’s backpedaling now, trying to say that everything he wrote was satire and shouldn’t be taken seriously. Uh huh. He just put that “satire” disclaimer on his blog yesterday. That he’s taken this message on a world tour says otherwise. He’s really nothing but a pathetic, frustrated little momma’s boy, who honest to god, lives in his mother’s basement.
